### 󠀁[Too Expensive & Loaded with Bells & Whistles](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/too-expensive-loaded-with-bells-whistles/)󠁿

Unless you’re loaded with money, Kapost isn’t meant for you. The content marketing
platform sure have too many bells & whistles, but it doesn’t cuts it for small to
medium content teams. Even for teams with a large freelancers base, it’s time consuming&
complicated to train new contributors with Kapost. It’s out and out an enterprise
product, so for companies that can’t afford it, I suggest you look at a less expense
alternative like [ link deleted, please do not post links in reviews ] I have been
researching other solutions and I have to say that the folks at Betaout have built
a great tool. It’s a complete solution for those who are struggling with task management
and lengthy editorial workflows. I also liked their fully blown editorial calendar
which offers 3 different views as per the status of your assignments. The Idearoom
at ContentCloud too is a very interesting interface to brainstorm with your team
of writers. Simple & intuitive interface gets the work done quickly, cuts down your
administrative tasks involved throughout the content creation process & doesn’t 
requires training. And the good part is, it costs way less.
